MADDE 630 · 3. Kefalet borçlarından sorumluluk

Mirasbırakanın kefaletten doğan borçları defterde ayrı bir yere yazılır ve mirasçılar, mirası kayıtsız ve şartsız kabul etmiş olsalar bile, bu borçlardan terekenin iflâs hükümlerine göre tasfiyesi hâlinde kefalet sebebiyle alacaklı olanlara ne düşecek idiyse ancak o miktarla sorumlu olurlar.
